WIAW: Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloweeeeeeeen! I know for some this Halloween isn’t about costumes and candy, instead they are focusing on staying warm, staying fed and surveying damage. In fact, Governor Chris Christie has suggested moving Halloween festivities in New Jersey to Saturday, as many small communities already have. My thoughts are with all of you that are affected by Hurricane Sandy <3

Breakfast yesterday was at one of my new favorite spots: La Patisserie. I ask them to add every veggie they have to their veggie omelet and it turns out to be quite the breakfast beast. Sub fruit for toast, but keep those breakfast potatoes- they’re scary good!

We spent the morning running around. I needed new tires (four of ‘em- argh) and we voted early! The line was over an hour long and I was told it has been that way everyday, so I can only imagine how insane election day will be!

Not really. It depends what you call “words”. She says dada and moooo when I ask her what a cow says. she’s working on milk, but finds she can get what she wants by just saying “Dat!” (that) and pointing 🙂

Good for you for voting! I voted early a few weeks ago. Luckily, it only took 10 minutes! Your eye lashes look really long! Which mascara do you use? I think you are very creative! You did a great job on Hailey’s costume. My little ones are going to be a cowgirl and a little lamb 🙂

You just made my day! I always wish my lashes were longer. I actually buy a different mascara every time. Right now the one I’m using is in a bright gold tube. I’ll look it up when I get home. I love the idea of a cowgirl and lamb- so sweet!

That is absolutely THE most precious costume! And so creative 🙂 For Halloween this year (Friday, actually) I’m going to be a loofah! First year ever that I’ve actually made my costume. I am wayyy too excited for this. Hope y’all have a happy Halloween!

Hi, I don’t think I’ve ever commented before, but I love your blog. Hailey looks adorable in her Halloween Costume. I have one question for you — why are there such long lines to vote where you live. I’ve noticed other bloggers in North Carolina mention it too. In New York (where I live), the longest I have ever waited is a few minutes, and usually I just walk in and have no wait at all. Is it because you have fewer polling places? In the city where I live (population approx 100,000), each polling place serves anywhere from 500 to 2000 people. We don’t have early voting, and we get it all done on Election Day. The waiting in line thing sounds horrible to me because I feel like it would discourage people from voting.

That’s a great question, Maggie, and I have no idea. Maybe it’s because we are a toss up state and that causes more people to get out and vote and clog the polling spots? That’s just a guess because I have no idea, but it’s usually pretty crazy on election day. This is my first time early voting, so I was shocked it was so busy, too!

Adorbs little Halien! Love it! and btw-baby carrots, they are a NO-NO for health. they are sprayed with a chlorine and water solution. they are the knobbly looking carrots that are too twisted and not pretty enough for bagged carrots. invented in the 80s….Who wants that??!? I would much rather cut my own cause they are fresher then.
